Debate over food movie misses most farmers

From NPR’s Weekend Edition:

Food Inc., a documentary film about the modern agricultural industry, is a hit with big-city movie reviewers, small organic farmers and vegetarians. The movie argues that large-scale agriculture produces inexpensive meat and vegetables, but imposes high costs on the environment and Americans’ health.

But ordinary farmers — the people who grow the lion’s share of what America eats — have largely been left out of the mainstream media debate over the film.
